Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is a financial framework for constructing an investment portfolio that aims to maximize expected return based on a given level of risk, or alternatively minimize risk for a given level of expected return. The theory emphasizes the importance of diversification and the trade-off between risk and return, leading to the concept of an efficient frontier where portfolios achieve the best possible expected return for their level of risk.
